This is the reason France and Germany banned pro-Palestinian gatherings - the old propaganda narratives aren't working as well as it used to.
Based as hell
Good.
Remember when they crushed a player for daring to kneel. And took billions from the airforce for like fly bys and shit?
Billions from the air force? That's a huge reach, dude. The aircraft they fly over are already going to fly anyway so the pilots meet their minimum flight hours. They use it as training to be at a location at exactly the right time, as if striking a target.
Not to mention that it's advertising.
Like you say, they just add in a fly by to the flight plan. Probably free advertising for the forces ๐คฃ
Maybe if they had a moment of silenece for the civilians in Palestine and Israel, this wouldn't have happpend. But clearly they dont give a shit about Israeli war crimes, so of course this would happen
"The NFL mourns the loss of innocent lives in Israel and strongly condemns all forms of terrorism," the league said. "The depravity of these acts is beyond comprehension, and we grieve with the families of those killed, injured and still missing. We pray for peace and will always stand against the evils of hate."
The interruption, calling attention to the Free Palestine movement, comes after thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have taken to the streets across the United Kingdom on Saturday, including in London and Manchester

"Hello Israel? I have something you may be verrrrrry interested in."
This was totally not predictable whatsoever.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Amid a moment of silence for Israel on Sunday during the National Football League's (NFL) game with the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans in London, "Free Palestine" chants were heard.
Since the attack, both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups across the world have taken to social media and to in-person protests to voice their thoughts about the conflict, provoking strong reactions from each side.
This is not the first moment of silence held by the NFL for those killed in Israel as one took place on Thursday for the Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs game.
As previously reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, "NFL teams will hold a moment of silence before each game this week for victims who have been killed in the Hamas attack on Israel."
The interruption, calling attention to the Free Palestine movement, comes after thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have taken to the streets across the United Kingdom on Saturday, including in London and Manchester.
In addition to the NFL speaking out amid the conflict, over a dozen teams have released their own statements, including the Chiefs, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
